My favorites list always changes depending on mood and it's always really hard to narrow it down on a top (whatever number) list, but Jurassic Park is always going to be at the top due to its heavy influence on me as a kid.
So besides Godzilla/kaiju films, here's a few others I could never remove from my DVD collection:

The Big Lebowski
The Thing
Re-Animator
The Holy Mountain
Suspiria
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
Taxi Driver
Once Upon A Time In America
Bronson
Alien (quadrilogy)
Naked Lunch
Battle Royale
The Lost Continent
The Land That Time Forgot/The People That Time Forgot/At The Earth's Core
Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
Manborg
Dead Alive
Tokyo Gore Police
5 Fingers of Death
Hausu
Eraserhead
The Exorcist
Videodrome
Oldboy
I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK
Delicatessen
Perfume: the Story of a Murderer
A Bucket of Blood

Because, I mean, I love Vincent Price, John Carradine and Donald Pleasence, and I love anthology horror movies, but, really, I just can't even with that movie...

Let me know if you can track down a copy of the sequel, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs. As a massive Mario Bava fan, I'm very curious about that movie, even though Italian comedy does not translate for American audiences very well.

I miss this era of DC/WB animation so much. Everything about the Dini-Timm Verse was incredibly on point and Mask Of The Phantasm is exemplary of the level of quality control of that era.
